Hi,
First, I apologize if my question sound stupid, since I am a total newbie in ROS. I have 2 Jackal Robots that I am trying to control separately. The problem I am facing is that both of them are subscribed to cmd_vel topic, so If I publish on one topic, both of the robots move, is there a turn around it? Thank you
You can launch them in different namespaces. this will make it like name_space/topic. Following is a small example.
<launch>
<group ns="jackal1">
<node name="velocity_controller" pkg="my_package type="my_node"/>
</group>
<group ns="jackal2">
<node name="velocity_controller" pkg="my_package" type="my_node"/>
</group>
</launch>
Just bundle your nodes together in namespaces. Or you can use include tag to include launch files within it.
Hope this answers your question.
